The staff are friendly and they made my stay so much better! Seriously, this is one of the best hostel I have ever stayed in within Europe. Kudos to the staff more making the place so clean and comfortable for everyone.

Perfectly located half way between bus station and main tourist spots. Few steps away from markets and cafes. Rooms and beds were very comfortable. Free towels. I did not hear any noise from the city center or the school on the first floor. Luggage storaged with lockers was plus. Staff was lovely and very helpful. Had some online meetings and the wi-fi did not dissapoint.

Cool hostel at the amazing location right on the main street with a tram stop 10 meters from the front door. We stayed in a private budget room, and it was very clean, with everything we needed: comfy bed and pillows, hairdryer. The breakfast is amazing and you can order food from the asian restaurant

Very close to train and bus station, as well as tram stops. I only stayed for 1 night so didn’t get to do much, however the staff were very friendly and helpful. I stayed in a 4 bed female dorm with private bathroom. Wifi always worked, bathroom was a great size, room was a great size and bed very comfortable. Amazing price for the quality of the stay.

1.It is a home vibe. For me, it meets my expectations. The kitchen is functioning well. 2.Location near the supermarket. 3.I got room number 1 which the surrounding is so quiet because facing the 'garden'. 4.About the shower, the door for the shower has no lock but if i put the slipper outside, people are surely aware someone is taking a shower. And it is not really a seeing thru the door, no one can see in the shower room. I have no concern on that coz i got my shower at 4am. 😁 Well, I am a muslim and i have no issue with the hostel.

Looking for a hostel?

Budget travellers know that there is no better way to make the most of their trip than by staying at a hostel: save money for exploring during the day, and swap stories with fellow backpackers in the shared kitchen or bar in the evening. Dorm-style bedrooms with shared bathrooms are standard hostel fare, but private rooms are also available for those willing to pay a bit more.

    It was one of the best hostels I've ever stayed in. It's a clean hostel where you can stay safely. It's within walking distance of all the tourist attractions in the city center. The staff are very friendly and helpful. Iresha helped us with every problem, she's very patient and does her job very well. I've stayed in a hostel many times before. But I can say that this hostel is the best. Thank you very much.

    Great location, just few minutes walk to the old town and many attractions. A lot of good bars and restaurants around the hostel. The bunk bed is really good, it is normal stairs with hard surfaces under the mattress which feels very good.
